3、 on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a childs sports team are all great ways to be involved with your childs education.

11、ht up in others problems, and then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all relationships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” tha
12、t says what, where, when, and under what conditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting:1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you ar
13、e helping the other person. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your friend, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three months. And I expect you will pay me back within three months and ce
14、rtainly before you can borrow more.” You say to another friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the other person
15、obey the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”. Limit
16、 setting is often stressful and painful because people mistakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt.
